Silicone Elastomers Market Market Outlook:

The Global Silicone Elastomers Market was estimated at USD 5,656.8 Million in 2020 and is anticipated to reach USD 9,295.4 Million by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period.

Silicone Elastomers Market Market Outlook

Silicone elastomers are made by combining reactive, straight-chained molecules with a cross-linking agent and reinforcing to produce a material with high mechanical characteristics (elasticity, absorption, tear strength). Linear polymers, reinforcing agents, a crosslinker, and a catalyst are used to make silicone elastomers. The basic straight-chain molecule's type, viscosity, and processing temperature substantially affect the types of elastomers that are formed.

Silicone elastomers are employed in high-performance Applications, especially when conventional polymeric materials are expected to fail. When subjected to a broad range of temperatures (from -50°C to 250°C) or intense outdoor exposure, parts manufactured of silicone elastomers rubber offer extended durability and dependability (humidity, UV, Ozone). Their dielectric houses and thermal resistance are ideal to insulate and defend digital systems, which includes protection from excessive voltage lines.

Macro-economic Factors

GDP

The world has undergone severe changes since the COVID-19 pandemic started. This pandemic had drastic effects on the supply chain of the silicone elastomers producing and manufacturing companies in the global industry, followed by ficant monetary losses and a substantial decrease in revenue. At the starting phase of the pandemic, manufacturing companies were facing difficulties, owing to the increasing risk of shortage of raw materials required for production.

Population

The global population is growing rapidly. In the current scenario, the demand for silicone elastomers is rising among end-user industry verticals such as automotive, construction and others. Special functions and attributes of silicone elastomers originated from its specific molecular structure, thus creating both inorganic and organic properties in comparison to different organic rubbers.

Inflation

The average inflation rate with respect to consumer price percentage is changing by 4.6% in 2020. The price percentage is estimated to be valued at 3.9%, according to IMF data.. As the purchasing power decreases, this tends to raise inflation, producing a potentially disastrous feedback loop. Thus, inflation is expected to pose a negative impact on the market.

Silicone Elastomers Market Market Dynamics

Market Driver

Increasing utilization in automotive industry

The rising usage of silicone elastomers in automotive sector is expected to propel the market in the coming years. For instance, increase in sales of the automotive industry by under 70 million units in 2021. In addition, silicone elastomers are used in producing spark plug boots, gaskets, ignition cables, connector seals, turbocharger hoses, and silicone wiper blades. Furthermore, they have various self-adhesive characteristics such as thermal, tear, and friction resistance. This results into ficant usage of silicone elastomers in several industries including healthcare, construction, and others across the world.

Rising use of silicone elastomers in construction sector

Silicone elastomers including fluorosilicone rubber, fluorosilicone rubber, and others are used in several Applications in construction industry such as encapsulating compounds, potting, adhesives & sealants, and coating, due to its ability to bond to metal and weathering properties of silicone elastomers. Hence, demand for silicone elastomers is rising in the construction sector.

Governments are taking initiatives for increasing the construction of residential homes for providing proper housing facilities to the increasing population. These initiatives aid in raising the demand for sealants and adhesives in the residential construction sector, which is expected to drive the silicone elastomers market in the coming years.

Market Restraint

Several disadvantages related to silicone elastomers

One of the major factors which is hampering the growth of the silicone elastomers market is the disadvantages related to silicone elastomers. They are expensive as compared to rubber and other substances. Silicone elastomers are little sticky to the touch of their herbal nation. This results into attaching the dust and other particles to them and giving rougher look. Low tearing power of silicone rubber and lack of abrasion resistance and natural strength are some disadvantages that are hindering the growth of the silicone elastomers market.

Poor chemical compatibility

Silicone elastomers have poor chemical compatibility, which is projected to restraint the market growth over the forecast period. In spite of widespread adaptability, in few conditions and packages the silicone elastomers are carried out poorly and have harmful reactions. For instance, it is not immersed in gasoline or alcohol, its curing is hindered with the help of sulfur, latex, and some other compounds. Hence, precautions need to be taken in the process having a chemical environment before using the silicone elastomers, which is anticipated to hamper the market growth in the coming years.
